Create a Sequential Data Set from a VSAM Repository

Use IDCAMS REPRO to create a sequential file from your VSAM repository. For example, the following JCL creates a sequential file (TEMP.PRTLIB.BACKUP) from a temporary VSAM repository (TEMP.PRTLIB).

//REPRO    EXEC PGM=IDCAMS
//PRTLIB   DD  DSN=TEMP.PRTLIB,DISP=SHR
//BACKUP   DD  DSN=TEMP.PRTLIB.BACKUP,DISP=(NEW,CATLG),
//             UNIT=SYSDA,VOL=SER=vvvvvv,SPACE=(CYL,(3,3),RLSE),
//             DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=4085,BLKSIZE=4085)
//SYSPRINT DD  SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN    DD  *
 REPRO INFILE(PRTLIB) OFILE(BACKUP)
